Eco Hostel Reviews

This is a great hostel with a relaxed atmosphere, very friendly staff and excellent breakfast with cereals, plenty of fruit, toast with real butter and tasty jams plus cookies.

It was a great stay and I loved the hostel, but there was one staff member that was super inconsiderate. Up all night playing music and stuff in the room when we were trying to sleep.

I only stayed for one night, about four hours because I had to catch and early flight and arrived later than planned. My friend was with me (also unplanned) and he needed a bed as well. The girl working was super friendly and helped us get another room with two beds and spoke both English/Spanish and I'm pretty sure German as well. The place was clean and it would have been fun to stay there more than one night, maybe next time!

The hostel is ok. I just had a problem with my reservation. I´ve booked for the dorm 6 months in advance. In January I received an e-mail canceling the reservation. At this time, I couldn ´t find another hostel to stay (Lollapalooza´s Week). So I wrote to them and agreed to stay in the private room (even if it was more expensive). I specifically told then I need a room whit two single beds, since I was travelling with a friend. When we arrive, they only had a double bed. Very awkward situation.

The shower was a bit small but other than that it was a great place with fantastic staff that was very helpful.

Great hostel, nice breakfast. Helpfull staff.

Nice hostel, but let down by the staff. Had various issues with bedbugs, loss of reservations, false accusation of non payment (after check-out) and very poor ability/attitude of some staff. However, all were rectified after meeting with the owner 2 days after check out and full refund given. Breakfast was great, facilities good, in a fairly good location, but a bit of a walk from the metro and places of interest.

Loved my private room, huge king size bed all to myself rm 22 for 150000 per night. Breakfast was very good, lots of fruits and toast and cookies. Hot showers. Great location.

I have nothing to complain about Eco Hostel. It's good located, near a metro station and the historic center of Santiago, the breakfast is good and the hostel is very clean. The only thing we would advise to other travellers is, altough we stayed in a large and good one, there are some rooms without windows...

Nice hostal, good breakfast.

I loved the quirkiness and friendliness of the hostel. The one thing I did not like is that smoking was allowed - not inside the hostel building, but in its courtyard areas. Because these were small and enclosed, people's smoke filled the courtyards and filtered into the building.

simple but nice place. The location is close to the metro and the plaza de las armas. They have beer, water and wine for sale, but is expensive.

Lovely, laid back hostel in a nice area. Close to best places to see in the city and supermarket not far away either. We especially liked the outdoor area, the generous included breakfasts and the environmentally conscious outlook. Would stay again.

My favorite all-around hostel from our trip through Chile. A great mix of ages, being a slightly more mature traveller it was nice to find a calm and respectful atmosphere, lots of outdoor space for lounging or eating, plenty of clean bathrooms and showers, and a very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommendable!

Loved this hostel! Best place we stayed at throughout Chile. Very friendly, fun atmosphere. Lots of common open areas to hang out, play guitar or cards, meet other travelers, etc. Weekly BBQ's. Really nice, large and very well-equipped kitchen. Good breakfast included. Facilities were very clean and good attention to eco-friendliness - recycling, composting. Nice building w/ large rooms and high ceilings. Convenient to metro station and easy to get to downtown and the Bellavista district.

good place,i like the eco concept....keep up the good work..

Unfortunately, Ecohostel was not the kind of Hostel we thought. The staff wasn't there 24 hours, kitchen and bathrooms smelling bad, bedrooms with no windows, poor breakfast with GREEN rotten bread. I know it's a cheap hostel, but it was really below the line. We spent only one night there. We could only sleep at 4:00AM, when the staff and the other hostelers finally stopped talking and laughing out hard.We were tired and couldn't sleep at all. At least we could take our money back.

I just loved this hostel. it's in a very safe area, easily accessible by metro. The staff is very helpful and consists of GErmans and Chileans. Really spacious bedrooms with 120cm beds! big lockers to fit all your stuff in. very delicious breakfast with cookies, cereal, bread, marmelade, coffee, tee, fruit. very good kitchen. beautiful inside terrace to spend the evenings. funny comments everywhere on how to live a "greener" life :D

It´s clean and nice place to stay. The kitchen was very clean and room was also well managed. A bit hard to find because the sign is not very visible. But it is good location. I had nice view from the window.

This is a pretty standard full service hostel. You have probably stayed at a dozen just like it all around the world. But the rooms and dorms are spacious, the staff is accomodating and the free breakfast is decent enough. Location is a tad away from the centre but not too far. Note that the shower stalls are tiny. Bigger guys might be a little cramped. Note also that the walk in rate is higher than the price when booking on hostelworld. You will pay the full price if you need to extend.
